Hello Symoon
This program reconfigures the 6522 VIA to read the printer port with bit7 and bit6 output mode. I think this is used for a PASE joystick interface.With DBUG explanation I suppose it passes through an interrupt vector to use easier in BASIC programming.

Oh how I wish I had my old Oric-1 tapes to do the same! I had two big fat UTIL tapes, with things like !AUTO !NEW and so on, helpful for those long type-ins and cheesy tape copies .. would love to have those around. As I mostly got my stuff from long-distance post (Australian Oric-1-using 13 year old kid with limited budget), every single magazine that had an Oric listing was, somehow, scrounged .. had all kinds of wild stuff.

Learned my lessons, though .. still got my Atari Portfolio from those days, with its compiler onboard ..

+Edit: I hope you'll continue sharing stuff with us as you find it, even if it seems useless. Very fun!

Well, transferring your own old tapes is a real pleasure, but transferring others' personnal tapes is rather a nightmare: many (bad) copies of commercial games (= waste of time except if rare game), programs from type-ins (= possible mistakes, and doubles from someone else's tape), personnal tests, got to find what is worth or not. And if it's worth transferring again in case of detected errors...
A team work would be great, why don't we have our own office where I'd make the transfers and a team of testers would decide if they trash it or send it to the webmasters that would publish it with explanations notes

I suppose the majority of the work is in encoding from the tapes - but if you want to just do a massive bulk conversion of TAPE->.WAV file, and leave the actual analysis to us as a group, I'd be more than happy to help you weed out the gems from the chaff.

As an old Oric-1 user who never had enough software for his machine, having such an archive of "unknown stuff to weed through" would be, in my opinion, an honor and a privilege.

I had oricopy back in the day! Honest! My Dad was close friends with the distributer for Oric in Australia (Brian something-or-other .. will never forget staying at his place the first night I got my hands on an Oric) and he had this floating around .. among other things, like the "OLD" command, used to get back the sources for BASIC/Assembly programs that did a "NEW" on quit as a limited form of copy protection.

The story: I had an mp3 in a very old mail, sent un January 2008 by Alan Skirenko - thanks to him years later! I had totally forgotten that, as I sometimes do
Here's what Mr. Skirenko said about it: "A long time ago, after an Ebay auction, you asked me to send you a tape, Oricopy. Recently, I bought Tape2PC. With Tape2PC I can create MP3 files from my tapes. So, I give you Oricopy as an MP3 file, attached to this message. In the MP3 file, Oricopy appears 4 times, 3 fast and 1 slow. I hope you can cload it, and that it works for you. Oricopy came without instructions, so you must guess how to use it.

Sorry, I have no scanner. But you will not miss much. There is no inlay, and the cassette label is simply white with 'Oricopy' written in black."

Anyone would have a scan or photo of the original tape? We could make an entry on Oric.org!
